Big B to take a sabbatical from work?

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has been working tirelessly for several years now. We see him in 2-3 films every year. Non-stop work seems to have taken a toll on his health as several longstanding health issues have resurfaced in his life.

According to reports, Senior Bachchan has been advised a long break from work. And if sources are to be believed, the superstar has decided to take doctors’ advice very seriously this time around.


According to sources in the know, Amitabh Bachchan would be taking a break from acting right after the completion and release of Nagraj Manjule’s upcoming Hindi film Jhund which is scheduled to enter theatres in December.

“The other projects that Amitji has signed would have to wait,” informs a family source. “Right now, it is imperative that he take a longish break. He is physically exhausted. His body needs rest repair and healing.”

“Wife Jaya, daughter Shweta and son Abhishek have made it very clear to Bachchan Saab that this time he must take the medical advice seriously. He has been seriously advised to take time off on several occasions in recent years. Each time he has disregarded the warning and continued to work. Not this time. The family will make sure he takes time off for rest,” a family friend of the Bachchan family informs an entertainment portal.

Apart from Jhund, Amitabh Bachchan has almost half a dozen films on his platter right now. Some of his upcoming projects include Gulabo Sitabo, Chehre, Brahmastra and Aankhen 2. He is also in talks for several new projects.

Maybe I’m going to get dropped by my label and that’s fine’,” she told Paltrow.
